Fighting against addiction

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kaczala@presspublications.com A public forum featuring a panel discussion about the opioid epidemic drew about 100 people to the auditorium at the Northwood Schools, Arts, Athletics and Administration Building on Lemoyne Road on Oct. 26 to hear about drug addiction that is destroying lives across the country.

The panel included representatives from Bay Park Hospital, law enforcement, first responders, a recovering addict, and a couple who lost their son to an overdose.

A common theme throughout the discussion was the significance of raising public awareness and removing the stigma associated with heroin addiction.

Brett Tscherne, emcee of the forum, recounted how he was awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from a family member this year to inform him that his cousin had died.

“Not only was I overwhelmed and blindsided by his passing, but there was the stigma you associate with someone who is on heroin. It’s huge,” said Tscherne, a board member of the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored the forum. “It’s here. It’s in our neighborhoods, our backyards, in our families.”

Opioid overdoses “is something our EMS, our first responders, our care teams, are seeing on a day to day basis at an unbelievable rate,” added Tscherne, director of Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home.

Out there Denny Hartman, deputy chief in the Oregon Fire/Rescue division, said opiate addiction is in every community.

Hartman was the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District chief prior to becoming deputy chief in Oregon earlier this year.

Search on for lost, deceased pets

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The City of Toledo is establishing a policy on finding owners of dead pets collected in the streets after the city failed to contact the owner of a dog with tags that was hit and killed by a car last July.

Carlos, an 11-year-old red Chihuahua, had an up-to-date license, rabies, and ID tags attached to its collar, but city workers who collected the deceased dog soon after it was hit never called owner Julia Hatfield to inform her of the dog’s death. Instead, Carlos was thrown in a common dump like other dead animals found in the road.

Carlos had gotten out of its yard on Camden Street in East Toledo while Julia and her husband, Allen, went out for the evening on July 22. After returning home a couple of hours later, they started searching for the dog when they realized it was gone.

Following an unsuccessful search, they found a note on their front porch informing them Carlos had been hit by a vehicle at Varland Avenue and Woodville Road, a couple of blocks from their house. “The note stated `Your dog was hit on Varland and Woodville. I knocked. No answer.’ It was signed `Teresa,’” said Hatfield. “She didn’t describe him, so we weren’t sure it was Carlos.”

Julia and Allen Hatfield with Carlos.

(Submitted photo) Spot of blood Teresa had moved the dog from the road and had taken it to another location.

A spot of blood covered by gravel was on Varland, where the dog had apparently been hit.

“Teresa said she had placed the dog by a pole in an alley and covered the body with a coat. I asked if he was still alive, and she didn’t tell me,” said Hatfield.

By the time she got to the alley, the dog

was gone.

“We didn’t know what to do at that point. We still weren’t 100 percent sure it was him.” There were city workers across the street in Navarre Park, who she assumed had put the gravel on the spot of blood where Carlos had been hit in the road.

Hatfield had twice called the non-emergency number for the Toledo Police Division, as well as Engage Toledo, an advocacy group that answers questions from Toledo residents about city services. The call center is open 24 hours per day, seven days per week (419-936-2020). Engage Toledo had confirmed the city had collected a dead animal on Varland that evening, but couldn’t tell Hatfield if it was Carlos.

Her heart sank when she was told that the city had already disposed of the dog.

“They said they took him to the dump that night. He was wearing a collar with ID tags, yet nobody bothered to try and call me. If Teresa had not put a note on our door, we’d still be looking.”

She never even got Carlos’s collar with the tags returned to her as a keepsake. “I would have liked to at least have had that,” she said. “It doesn’t take much to remove the collar, or take a photo with a smart phone, and call the owner.”

Toledo voters

Decide status quo or try someone new!

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com On November 7, Toledo voters will decide whether to stay with incumbent Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson or elect challenger Wade Kapszukiewicz, both Democrats.

Both found their way to the East Toledo Senior Center for a forum Wednesday night, and although Kapszukiewicz said he was an agent of change, Hicks-Hudson said she had been one, too.

Kapszukiewicz is asking voters to take a change because he’s seen the city’s population drop by 25 percent over the past four decades and doesn’t believe it is going to get better without a total reworking.

“As a mayor, I’m going to try things,” Kapszukiewicz said. “I’m going to throw some things against the wall. They might not work. We have to try new things — we don’t want the city to continue in decline.

On his campaign website, he adds, “But if you think we need fresh ideas, new energy, and an outsider’s perspective, I will be your voice. If you think we need to shake up the status quo, move in a new direction, and maybe try some things we haven’t tried before, this is your campaign.”

Hicks-Hudson responded to Kapszukiewicz’s comment about a “small window of opportunity” to turn this city around.

“My opponent talks about a small window of opportunity,” Hicks-Hudson said. “I’m telling you that we do not have to wait on that window of opportunity because the time is now.”

Kapszukiewicz As Lucas County Treasurer, Kapszukiewicz says he has worked to use the financial resources of the office to move the community forward and get results for our region, and lauds his efforts on his campaign website.

“Toledo has faced some tough times over the years. That’s the bad news. The good news is that, working together, we can turn this city around. All we need is the courage to change, to chart a new course and to elect new leadership with proven results,” Kapszukiewicz says.

“As we look at Toledo today we see so much hope, so many positive steps being taken by the private sector and in some of our neighborhoods. It is only our government that seems stuck in the past and unable to change to deal with the new challenges facing our community.

“We know what the status quo looks like. We know what doing the same old thing and making the same old decisions will produce: more of the same.

“I’m not a member of city council. I’m

not the mayor. If you are happy with the status quo, I am not your candidate. If you think Toledo government is headed in the right direction, I am not your candidate.

If you think the answers to Toledo’s problems reside within city government, I am not your candidate.

He worked to change state law in 2010 to allow for the creation of county land banks, which fight the problems of blight by acquiring vacant and abandoned properties. Kapszukiewicz helped found the Lucas County Land Bank and has served as its Chairman since August 2010. During that time, the Land Bank has brought over $30 million into Lucas County to improve neighborhoods.

Kapszukiewicz says under his leadership, the Land Bank has sold nearly 400 blighted properties that have been rehabbed, and it is on pace to demolish more than 3,000 of the worst vacant and abandoned structures in our community by 2020.

In his role as county treasurer, Kapszukiewicz manages a $220 million investment portfolio, which has earned roughly $65 million in interest for the county’s general fund since he took office.

Kapszukiewicz says “good-paying jobs are the bedrock of a successful community, and Toledo has lost far too many.”

Hicks-Hudson As the first black female mayor of Toledo, endorsed Democrat Hicks-Hudson says she always exhibited a commitment to empowering and helping people improve their quality of life.

She became President of Council on February 26, 2013 during a special council meeting. On February 17, 2015, Paula was sworn in as mayor following the passing of D. Michael Collins on February 6, 2015.

She says that safe and livable neighborhoods are the backbone of our city. She has made it her priority her first two years leading Toledo and says this issue will continue to be a pillar in her platform.

During her two and a half years in office, Mayor Hicks-Hudson said she has accomplished: • Razing of unsightly abandoned structures in conjunction with the Lucas County Land Bank, including more than 450 structures demolished in 2016.

• She tripled free bulk pick up from once per quarter to once per month and passed the Lead Safe Ordinance • She rejuvenated the Toledo Youth Commission with new leadership and active programming with organizations such as Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Government (TMACOG) • As far as job creation, Hicks-Hudson through collaboration has more than $3 billion invested in Toledo by Dana, Chrysler, General Motors, DMS, as well as many others. These companies and others have committed to the creation or retention of over 10,000 jobs.

• She also developed a strong partnership with ProMedica which has spurred a multi-million dollar investment in downtown, which will bring nearly 1,000 employees to Toledo’s central business district.

• Under Hicks-Hudson, $41 million has been spent on water treatment plant upgrades. $521 million has been spent to construct projects that improve the quality of water returned to the watershed.

Additionally, Hicks-Hudson partnered to improve our source of water in Lake Erie (Nutrient Source Inventory and lobbied Congress to strengthen the Clean Water Act).

• She also said she’s commited to continuing street repairs by every means possible. To date this year, more than 60 miles have been repaired, 54 miles were repaired in 2016 and 40 miles in 2015, the mayor said.

• She added police and fire classes, reinstated the Police Review Board, and invested in body cameras and deceleration training for all police officers.

Raising awareness key in fight against addiction that’s different is the volume of runs. It’s still the same situation, whether you’re in a small community or a bigger community.

Obviously, we see it more in Oregon than in Williston or Genoa. But it’s out there. It’s absolutely out there,” said Hartman.

Opioid overdoses are seen in both lower and upper income neighborhoods, he said.

“We see it in homes where typically we are not surprised, and we’re seeing it in half a million dollar homes of executives,” he said. “It’s pretty stunning.”

First responders are struggling emotionally dealing with the increase in overdoses they see.

“It’s very difficult because there is so much of it,” he said.

It’s much easier for emergency personnel to treat an elderly patient who “dies with their boots on” compared to a young person who had their whole lives ahead of them, he said.

“It’s much easier to take than a 26-yearold whose two kids are sitting there wondering what’s wrong with Mommy.”

People we know Kelly Druckenmiller, manager of the ER at Bay Park Hospital, said opioid addiction is “near and dear to our hearts.”

“We’re in nursing to make sure we do our best for our families, for our patients.

And we want to see everybody have a good outcome.” Unfortunately, she added, that’s not always the case.

She said addiction is so prevalent, “we see people we know” in the ER. “We see it affect kids, and we see it affect our kids’ friends,” she said.

Nate Kehlmeier, director of admissions and development at Midwest Recovery Center, is a 35 year old recovering opioid addict. His addiction started at the age of 21. His recovery started in 2008.

The addiction started with a prescription for the pain killer vicodin when he hurt his ankle. It progressed to Percocet prescribed by three different doctors.

“It then progressed to OxyContin.

When OxyContin became too expensive, I was introduced to heroin,” said Kehlmeier, a 2000 graduate of Genoa High School.

“I used heroin for many years. I grew up in small town Genoa. I ended up homeless in Toledo,” he said.

“I had a lot of ups and downs when I was using,” he continued. “It took something drastic for me to stop. The last day I used I got shot at and almost got killed. It opened my eyes. I’ve been sober ever since that day. I’m very blessed.”

In addition to being director of admissions and development at Midwest Recovery Center in Maumee, he’s a member of Team Recovery, which is a non-profit group in Toledo; a board member of Clean Start, a non-profit in Cleveland that helps addicts; part of the Wood County Opiate Task Force, and the Ottawa County Opiate Collaborative.

“I do a lot of work in the community,” he said, “to help fight this epidemic.

I’ve worked in the treatment field for nine years. I’ve never seen it as bad as it is right now.”

Families don’t want to talk about the epidemic, he added, because “there’s a lot of stigma.”

“People think there aren’t resources.

But there are resources out there.”

Aaron Leist, a detective with the Lake Township Police Department, said about 70 percent of calls at the peak of the addiction crisis in 2013-2014 were opiate related.

“You have to think outside of just drug overdoses that we respond to. There’s a lot more that goes into that. You have property crimes, breaking into houses, and stealing batteries from vehicles. Those people were doing that to come up with funds to buy drugs,” he said.

The numbers have dropped, he added, due to a more aggressive prosecution of those crimes.

Unproven Hartman said there are about 3-5 calls per week for probable heroin overdoses in Oregon.

“There are different reasons that people would be unresponsive. I can’t give you

a hard number - probably in the range of 3-5 per week in which we are administering Narcan,” he said of the medication used to block the effects of opioids in overdoses. “That doesn’t mean it was necessarily a heroin overdose because most people will deny that’s what it was, and we can’t prove it,” he said.

When asked what people should do if they see someone who has overdosed on drugs, Hartman advised calling 911, then rendering aid in respiratory and cardiac arrest.

Maintaining their airway is crucial in an unconscious person, he said.

“Airway is the number one thing.

Nobody lives without an airway.

Oftentimes, people will stop breathing but have a strong pulse. In that case, if you are comfortable with it – perform rescue breathing. Nine times out of ten, cardiac arrest in an overdose is caused by respiratory arrest or lack of breathing,” he said.

CPR should be attempted in cardiac arrest, he added. “Even if you’re not trained in CPR, if their heart is not beating, do what you can. Everyone has seen it on TV – push

Loss of son John and Laurie Clemons, of Lake Township, talked about the loss of their 30-year-old son, Brandon, who died of a drug overdose in 2015.

“We were kind of blindsided by this,” said Laurie. “Did I ever think Brandon could put a needle in his arm? No. We weren’t very educated about this. We had to learn a lot fast.”

Their son went to Florida for treatment of his addiction and had been clean for five weeks. Friends “triggered” a relapse. When he overdosed, they didn’t call 911.

“Instead, the one called his mother.

And she drove him to the hospital,” she said.

“I wouldn’t wish this on any parent.

The most important thing right now we all need to do is educate ourselves, our families, loved ones, so we can break this stigma and more parents can speak,” she said.

Brandon’s father John also said it is important to “bring awareness” to the problem.

“We can only fight this as a community, and that’s everybody – law enforcement, clergy, service providers, the schools,” he said.

When Brandon was dropped off at Bay Park Hospital, John said the surveillance video showed he had “appeared unconscious and had a blue hue to his skin.”

Hospital security told John that the people who had dropped off Brandon had refused to provide personal information about themselves, he said.

Two people who were involved with Brandon that night were convicted and senContinued on page 5

Toledo to help owners identify lost deceased pets tained by looking up the license tag on the Internet, she added. “We looked up Carlos’s license tag number, and it goes right to my name and phone number.”

She attributed the oversight to “a lack of training, a lack of manpower.”

Engage Toledo Abby Arnold, commissioner of Utilities Administration in Toledo, said she did not know why the city overlooked the tags.

Arnold met on Aug. 30 with officials from the Division of Streets, Bridges and Harbor, which oversees the service truck that collects dead animals, as well as a representative from the mayor’s office, and Richard Stewart, director/chief dog warden at Lucas County Canine Care and Control to address Hatfield’s concerns. The group came up with a plan that will help track down owners of dead dogs with identification.

“We had a brainstorming session about what we could do to improve this process, how we could be more compassionate to pet owners in these situations,” said Arnold. “It was a really great meeting.

Everyone came away with the real intent to improve the process. So from that, we made some immediate improvements.”

Those improvements include changes Toledo made within its internal system that handles work orders and service requests.

When a deceased dog was collected by the city, officials kept notes, but not details, such as whether the dog had a collar with tags, she said.

Held for 3 days That has now changed after Hatfield contacted her about what had happened to Carlos.

“Now we keep track of the type of animal in a searchable database - the color, size, gender and any tag information that we may find. Obviously, sometimes we can’t fill in all those pieces, but if we can, we try to. So the call taker tries to get that info from the caller, then they fill in what they can. The info gets confirmed

or changed by the driver of the truck that picks up the animal,” she said.

Then the city reports the list of deceased dogs daily to Lucas County Canine Care and Control to help find the owners, said Arnold.

“They are able to look through their database of lost animals to see if they can match up and make contact with the pet owner. That was an immediate improvement that we made,” said Arnold.

Stewart said Lucas County Canine Care and Control will make the effort to contact the owners if there is a license, ID tag or microchip.

“We will make multiple attempts to contact the owner, just like we do for any of our strays that come in the building,” he said.

The deceased dogs will now be brought to Lucas County Canine Care and Control and will be held for up to three days, possibly longer depending on available space in its storage freezer, said Stewart.

“A dog’s remains will be released to licensed owners. If no owner comes forward or multiple attempts are made to contact a licensed owner fail, the remains will be properly disposed of,” said Stewart.

The policy has not yet been fully implemented, he added, though the agency is now receiving the daily logs from the city.

So far, there has not been a deceased dog found with identification.

Microchip scanner The Division of Streets, Bridges & Harbor recently purchased a microchip scanner that will further help identify deceased pets that have implanted microchips containing owner information.

“We are continuing our discussions trying to figure out how we can keep working together and make this a better process for everyone,” said Arnold.

Few dogs are among the dead animals collected by the city, she said. The vast majority are opossums, ground hogs, skunks, squirrels, deer and cats.

“It’s a pretty small number,” she said.

Engage Toledo is focused on “trying

Open letter to the residents of Oregon and Jerusalem Township: Dear Neighbors, On November 7, 2017 we will head to the polls to hire a new Municipal Judge for our community. The person we select will be entrusted to administer justice to those that violate the law in our City and Township. The highest rated judges exhibit experience as their most important quality. Not only judicial experience, but life experience as well. Fortunately we have a candidate with significant judicial as well as significant life experience within our pool of candidates.

Scott Winckowski has the experience to be a great judge for our community. In addition to maintaining a successful private law practice based in Oregon, Scott has served 11 exemplary years as an Acting Judge in our court. Scott understands the inner workings of our court and has an effective established relationship with its staff. But it’s not just Scott’s significant judicial experience that separates him from the list of candidates, Scott’s life experiences include the pressures of building and maintaining a small business and more importantly the joys and difficulties of raising a family in todays’ world. Scott and Lillie’s children have excelled in the classroom and extracurricular activities during their time at Clay, the Ohio State University, and the University of Cincinnati. Raising “Good Kids” is the ultimate accomplishment in my book. Unfortunately Scott also knows firsthand the devastation of losing a loved one to the ever growing opioid epidemic that plagues our society.

Remember, we the citizens of Oregon and Jerusalem Township are hiring a Judge. Please educate yourself on the qualifications of our candidates and join my family in supporting Scott Winckowski for Oregon Municipal Judge.

to identify areas in the city that need improvement,” she said. She was unaware no effort was being made by the city to contact owners of dead dogs that had ID tags.

Not on the radar “Honestly, this is one that wasn’t on my radar. I had not heard a complaint or anything where I was even well versed of what the problem was until this happened,” said Arnold.

There is no way to tell how many dog owners with ID tags are still looking for their dogs that may have been deceased and collected by the city for disposal in a landfill, she acknowledged.

Hatfield would still be looking for Carlos had Teresa not tracked her down and left a note on her porch.

“I certainly understand,” said Arnold.

“As administrators, that’s our job to make certain there are policies in place to make sure those types of things don’t happen. I think this is one of those areas where it was brought to light that we needed to make improvements. I was very pleased to come into a meeting where everyone came with a real desire to make changes and do better. “ Captain Joe Heffernan, of the Toledo Police Division, said there is no policy for the police to make an effort to contact owners of deceased pets with identification tags they find in the road.

“If officers are dispatched to a call and pass a deceased animal in the road, they might call the Streets, Bridges and Harbor to pick up the animal,” he said.

There are police departments in other communities that do make the effort.

“We don’t need a policy,” said Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley. “It just makes sense to try and find the owners if there are ID tags or other tags.”

Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson agreed.

“We don’t have an actual policy. But we try to find the owners.” He added that he will discuss with police the possibility of establishing a policy so that it is routinely followed.

Not in vein Hatfield is happy that Carlos’s death was not in vein and that changes are being made that will help prevent future pet owners from going through what she went through.

“One thing that comes to mind is that Carlos is irreplaceable,” she said, wishing she had his remains for closure.

For now, she is comforted by sweet memories of Carlos, whom she called “Wiggle Butt.”

She made a collage on a poster board of photos taken of Carlos over the years to help with her grief.

Sandusky County

Three vying for 2 seats on Woodmore school board Voters in the Woodmore School District will put at least one new face on the board of education in Tuesday’s election as two incumbents have decided to not seek reelection.

Corinna Bench and Joe Liszak will be stepping down from the board and their seats are being sought by Chad Bringman, Jan Busdeker and Andy Miller.

Bringman, the executive director of the Ronald McDonald House, was a member of the school board when the district approved a bond issue to finance the construction of a new elementary school. He stepped down from the board in 2012. His wife, Linda, is a former principal and superintendent with the district.

Busdeker is a former mayor and coun-

cilmember of the Village of Woodville and he chaired a committee that successfully led a campaign last year to renew a levy for

the school district.

Miller, an operations manager for a Michigan firm, hopes to bring his business expertise to the board, saying he sees potential for improvement in how the district manages its finances. He also said the board needs to find a way to retain more students who are leaving Woodmore under the open enrollment option.

Bench said she is stepping down to devote more time to her children and her family’s business.

“I’ve really enjoyed my time on the board but it’s been very time consuming.

It’s a tough decision but I want to be there for my children,” she said.

Liszak also cited time constraints for his decision to not seek re-election. He was recently named president of the Ohio Association of Community Health Centers, which meets in Columbus.

“I feel pretty satisfied about what we’ve

accomplished,” he said. “I said I wasn’t going to be part of the good old boy network when I got on the board in 2014. We’ve had a wonderful board the last two years.”

Liszak and Bench both said they’re leaving the door open to possibly running again for a seat on the board in the future.

Village, township races In the Village of Woodville, only four candidates are vying for four open council seats: incumbents Joseph Riffle, Jeffery Tate and Ty Tracy are seeking re-election and Kelly O’Connor is running for the other seat.

The race for two seats on the Woodville Township Board of Trustees is competitive.

Three candidates, Nathaniel Liskai, Paul Runion and Kenneth Green are listed on the ballot while Paul Heineman is a writein candidate.

Sandusky County

Write-ins in Helena Incumbents dominate in Tuesday’s race for four seats on Helena Village Council but only one name will appear on the ballot.

The name of incumbent Connie Carnicom is on the ballot but to fill the other three seats voters will have to write in the names of Paul Damschroder, Dean Hetrick and Leland Reimer, who are also incumbents.

In the Village of Lindsey, five candidates are seeking four seats on council: Anne Arnold, Theodore Lewis, Barbra Opelt, Cheryl Overmyer and Caleb Reineck.

In Washington Township, incumbents Glenn Baker and Robert Reed are the only candidates for two seats on the board of trustees and in Scott Township the only candidates for two seats on that board are incumbents Kevin Ruth and Scott Wasserman.

Voters in Madison Twp. will have three choices for two seats on the board of trustees: Kent Kirsch and Andrew Gerbich are listed on the ballot while Elwood Dick is a write-in candidate.

The razing of Olney The 1938 WPA Olney School building (also known as Northwood Middle School and most recently Northwood Elementary School) is razed. The new Northwood school building houses pre-kindergarten through grade 12. The old Olney entrances have been preserved and relocated inside the new school building’s gymnasiums.

Wood County

Little competition in many area political races

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com With few exceptions, local races in the Nov. 7 election for seats on village councils, school boards and township boards of trustees in Wood County are marked by a lack of competition.

Of the townships in The Press circulation area of the county, only Lake Township has an actual contest for seats on the board of trustees where incumbents Richard Welling and Jeff Pettit are vying for two seats along with Scott Wright.

Races for trustee seats in other local townships aren’t competitive.

Incumbents Matthew Brinker and Kenneth Recker are the only candidates for two seats on the Troy Township Board of Trustees while in Freedom Township, two incumbents, David Bruning and Rick Rahe, are the only candidates for two seats.

Incumbents dominate in most of the contests for seats on village councils, which are a mix of competitive and noncompetitive races.

In Pemberville, seven candidates are vying for four seats on village council, making it the most competitive local village council race. Three incumbents, James Opelt, William Long, and Eric Campbell, are joined in the race by Daniel Angel, Carol Bailey, Jordan Haynes and David St. Louis.

Jessica Sautter, a member of council, said the field of candidates could be a reflection of a growing interest in local issues such as the development of the village’s downtown.

“I think they are seeing our downtown needs some attention through community involvement,” she said.

A citizen-run Facebook page, Pemberville Proud, has also become a popular place for residents to share their

concerns and has stimulated more public participation, she said.

For one seat on the village board of public affairs, incumbent Thomas Oberhouse is being challenged by Thomas Mauk, a writein candidate.

In Walbridge, three incumbents, Larry Boday, Susan Hart-Douglas and Ron Liwo, are being challenged by Sarah Valasek and John Weissenberger for four seats on council.

In the neighboring Village of Millbury, four incumbents, Roger Christoff, Timothy Clapsaddle, Marvin Cowell and Fred Densic are unopposed in their efforts to be returned to four seats.

The race for four council seats in the Village of Luckey is even less competitive, with only three incumbents, Donald Brickner, Charles Franklin and S. Mike McNulty on the ballot.

Five candidates are in the race for four seats on Northwood City Council. Louis Fahrbach, Pat Huntermark, Randy Kozina and Mark Stoner are listed on the ballot and Kelley Wills is a write-in candidate.

School boards Voters in the Eastwood School District will decide four seats on the board of education. Incumbents Roger Bostdorff, Denis Helm and Sherri Sheffler are seeking reelection and being challenged by AJ Haas for three seats. Incumbent James Rogers is the only candidate for a board seat with a term that expires Dec. 31, 2019.

A race for three seats on the Lake school board only includes incumbents Brad Delventhal, Tim Krugh and Monica Leppelmeier.

The race for three seats on the Northwood school board isn’t competitive with three candidates, Amy Romstadt, Jeffrey Dunlap and Chuck Turner, vying for three full-term seats and Carolyn Schimmel, a write-in candidate, seeking a seat with a term ending Dec. 31, 2019.

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden

“

How the other people involved feel is just as important, if not more so, as how you feel.

Being aware of how you impact others is essential for successful and satisfying relationships.

“

Are you aware of the direction of your life? Are you aware of what’s happening around you? Are you aware of what path you are on? Are you aware of the impact you have on others? Are you aware of the effect of your actions?

Without awareness, you are walking around in a fog. You have no clue as to what’s happening, or why. Imaging driving your car with the windshield painted over.

Since you would have no idea where you are going, crashing would be a certainty.

In order to drive safely, you require an awareness of where you are, what’s up ahead, visibility, weather, traffic, along with any other conditions which affect your trip.

This information enables you to make sound decisions, which keep you safe.

Although being aware while driving is considered common sense, a surprising number of people don’t maintain awareness of what is going on with their lives.

This deprives them of the feedback necessary to keep their lives on track.

People are unaware for a variety of reasons. Not facing reality leads people to be unaware of what is going on. Being close minded limits a person’s ability to see things accurately. Self-absorbed people are unaware of how others react to them.

Unawareness, regardless of the cause, leads to numerous problems.

Let’s review some of the aspects of your life you should be aware of. Start with what’s happening right now. Are things going the way you would like, or are you dissatisfied with your current situation? If things are going well, identify what you are doing right and stay on your current path.

Where there is room for improvement, determine how you arrived at your current circumstances. Next, figure out what steps are necessary to change course. Taking action to employ the new strategy will begin

adjusting your path to a more desired direction.

You should always be aware of the relationship between cause and effect. Every action you take has an impact. In order to change your results, you need to change your actions. So being aware of your actions, and their effects, enables you to make adjustments as needed.

Be aware of your level of happiness. If you are not as happy as you want to be, look for any issues which are negatively affecting you. Rectifying these problems will have a

corrective impact. Awareness of what you like, and don’t like in your life, positions you to maximize the positive, while minimizing or eliminating the negative.

Maintain an awareness of the condition of important interpersonal relationships. How the other people involved feel is just as important, if not more so, as how you feel. Being aware of how you impact others is essential for successful and satisfying relationships.

An awareness of your goals, and the progress you are making towards them, is vital to achieving your objectives. Your goals may change over time. You can drift off track. Awareness allows you to make the appropriate adjustments, which keeps you on your desired heading.

There are many other aspects of life which are also important to you. Remaining aware of each one, along with whether or not you are satisfied, provides an opportunity to make adjustments.

Awareness is focused on the present, along with looking ahead. Don’t waste time lamenting what has already transpired.

The past teaches you what worked, and what didn’t. Use this experience to move forward more effectively.

Awareness empowers you to make things happen, rather than waiting and hoping for situations to change. Awareness enables you to take control of your life.

Being aware of all aspects of your life leads to greater satisfaction, as you make positive adjustments.

Bill would protect domestic violence and sexual assault victims in Ohio

By Evan Mascagni Immediately following a report by the New York Times that he allegedly sexually assaulted numerous women throughout his career, Harvey Weinstein threatened to sue the Times for defamation. For First Amendment legal scholars, this comes as no surprise. There’s a long history of powerful bullies attempting to use the legal system to silence their critics.

These types of lawsuits, most commonly called Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs), are used to silence and harass critics by forcing them to defend these baseless but costly suits.

SLAPP filers don’t go to court to seek justice. Rather, SLAPPS are intended to intimidate the target by draining their financial resources and dragging them through years in the court system.

Luckily for residents of Ohio, a new bill introduced by State Sen. Matt Huffman (R-Lima), would protect Ohioans from frivolous lawsuits that chill their First Amendment rights. Senate Bill 206, The Ohio Citizen Participation Act, would allow Ohio to join 28 other states that have

7

Guest Editorial already enacted anti-SLAPP laws of their own, and put Ohio at the forefront of protecting free speech and petition activity.

The Ohio Citizen Participation Act will not only protect journalists who are threatened for reporting on sexual harassment and assault allegations, as occurred with the Times’ Weinstein investigation.

The Act will also help protect the domestic violence and sexual assault survivors who are afraid to speak out for fear of their abusers, who can use the courts as a weapon of retaliation.

As Nancy Neylon, Executive Director of the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, pointed out, “court proceedings can provide a tool for abusers to exert and reestablish control over a domestic violence survivor long after the relationship has ended.”

These retaliatory lawsuits can arise in many contexts, including suing survivors for defamation if a survivor reports the abusers to law enforcement or speaks out publicly about the abuse they have suffered. This turns our legal system on its head, as the very place to which a survivor turns for protection becomes a weapon used against them.

The Ohio Citizen Participation Act will help prevent frivolous lawsuits against all Ohioans, including domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, and help ensure that bullies don’t use the legal system as a tool of intimidation and retaliation.

For these reasons, I applaud Sen. Huffman for introducing the Ohio Citizen Participation Act. I hope that it passes through the state legislature quickly and is signed by the governor.

Evan Mascagni is the Policy Director for the Public Participation Project, a nonprofit organization working to strengthen the First Amendment rights of all Americans by enacting strong anti-SLAPP legislation at the state and federal level.

Music runs deep for local family and the community

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublcations.com For Rick Spitler, of Curtice, playing in a band has been his life. The drummer has gone from high school to adulthood riding the wave of rock and country music. He has been with Bob Wurst, Branded and Roped and a little band known locally as Haywire.

“I have been in bands all of my life,” Rick, 62, said. “My band, Haywire, was formed in 2007. Recently, Haywire, as a band, decided we will not be doing as many gigs as we have in the past.”

Haywire has been a popular band playing local gigs for several years. The band specializes in modern country music, Spitler said. The band covers artists like Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney and Luke Bryan.

Rick has been employed full time for the last 30 years as a building superintendent with the Inverness Club in Toledo.

Finding that he had more time on his hands, Rick decided to form another band, Hey Day. “I have more free time and I wanted to play more, so I started a second band,” he said. “I have always wanted to do music from the `60s and `70s, so Hey Day will play music from bands like The Beatles, The Turtles and The Rolling Stones.”

Hey Day is also the first time that Rick will play in a band with his older brother, Jerry Spitler, in decades.

“We both play music, but we have always been in our own bands,” Rick said.

“We both just decided to join together, play together and have some fun. This will be the first time we have played together since we were teenagers.”

Jerry, 65, a retired operations manager at Homewood Press, said he and Rick have talked about doing a band together for a long time.

“We have talked years and years about doing this,” Jerry said. “It really was just a matter of us sitting down and doing it. We pulled the best players from Toledo, Oregon and the area and brought it together.”

Rick said the band already has 47 gigs booked into next year. Jerry said he was surprised – well, kind of.

“It has just taken off,” Jerry said. “I was surprised it got together quickly. We put it together in a couple months. Rick has a good reputation all over town. People are hiring the band on Rick’s word alone. His word is solid.”

Like his brother, Jerry said he has been in the business since graduating from Genoa Area High School. Jerry graduated in 1969 and Rick in 1974.

“I remember playing at a sock hop in the gym in my socks,” Jerry said laughing.

“We used to play where we could play.

Heck, we would play for five bucks and a sandwich. We just loved it.”

Jerry said the school district helped he and Rick get the music bug.

(Photo by Jan Hudson) “Growing up with music was fun,” he said. “The school system got us started in music. When we got our first electric guitars we thought we were superstars. My dad traded a chicken coop and some chickens to get Rick his first drum set. Now we are both in our 60s and still playing music.”

Jerry, who lives in Lambertville, Michigan, has four children: Josh Spitler and Kim Diekman, both of Genoa; Kate Biddle, of Wauseon and Monica Spitler, of Monroe, Michigan. Jerry’s girlfriend, Jan Hudson, is a photographer and is in The Fossil Creek Band, a bluegrass group.

Rick has three daughters: Amber (Greg) Demoe and Autumn Spitler, both of Millbury; and Ashley Spitler, of Curtice.

The brothers’ daughters, Monica and Ashley, have also teamed up to form their own band, Pop’s Garage. Monica, is the lead singer. Ashley, like her father, is the

Hey Day’s other members, Jim Burd, Barbara Dial, Sean Grindle and Rick Frost will join the Spitler brothers for their first gig at Pub 51, 5110 Woodville Rd., in Northwood, Friday, Nov. 3.

Grindle, of Oregon, was in former bands Ceiling and Big Ticket. A 1986 graduate of Waite High School, his father was a local celebrity, “Johnny Ginger,” who also hosted a kids’ show in Detroit back in the day.

As for Rick and Jerry, one band together was not enough. They are currently forming a classic country band to be called Hayride. The band will play music from Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Conway Twitty, Patsy Cline, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, to name a few.

“I just love music,” Rick said. “Being in a band really is the most enjoyment I

have had behind going to church with my family and having family parties.”

Hey Day will have a Hey Day Party on Friday, Jan. 12, at the Bier Stube Bar and Grill, 5333 Monroe St. in Toledo. Find more info on their Facebook page, Hey Day of Toledo.

The duo – David Tamulevich and Michael Hough – will take the stage at the Pemberville Opera House Saturday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the ongoing Live! In the House Concert Series.

The pair met in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1974.

Within 18 months, they had quit their jobs and were doing music full time.

Multi-instrumentalists (guitar, electric bass, dulcimer, mandolin, harmonica, penny whistle), their large repertoire draws on the dual influences they both experienced when growing up – the folk revival of the 60s as well as the explosive singer-songwriter movement.

Hayes exhibit highlights Lake Erie ice harvesting For modern Americans, grabbing hamburgers to grill for dinner or making an ice cream sundae on a hot day is as simple as opening the refrigerator or freezer.

This wasn’t always the case.

Cold beverages, frozen treats and refrigerated perishables were once the exclusive luxury of the affluent. Beginning in the early 19th century, the ice harvesting industry revolutionized the lives of common people by providing them with cheap, abundant ice.

One of the biggest ice producers was Lake Erie and its Sandusky Bay. The latest special exhibit at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, “‘Ice for Everybody:’ Lake Erie and America’s Ice Harvesting Industry” will explain the story of how the Sandusky area became the center of a century-long mammoth industry that changed the way Americans lived. The exhibit runs Nov. 3-Feb. 25, 2018.

“The only connection most people have with this topic is the first three minutes of the Disney movie ‘Frozen,’ and that’s unfortunate,” said Kevin Moore, associate curator of artifacts. “We are all connected to this topic, and we don’t even know it.

Through historic photos from the museum’s Charles E. Frohman collection and artifacts, such as an icebox and tools used in the trade, the exhibit will show the impact Northwest Ohio icemen and their work on the frozen lake and bay had on a national industry.

The exhibit also will feature videos of locals who remember the days when their food was refrigerated in iceboxes with big blocks of ice.

The Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is located at Spiegel Grove at the corner of Hayes and Buckland avenues.

His patient didn’t know how bad her wound was.

He did.

Roman exhibit opens at TMA For the first time since its founding in 1901, the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) will present a special exhibition of Late Roman artwork, focusing on the period from the second century B.C. to the seventh century.

The majority of the approximately 30 masterpieces – glittering gold and silver, spectacular oversized carved garnets and rubies and dazzling rings and necklaces – have never been displayed in a museum.

“Glorious Splendor: Treasures of Early Christian Art” will be on view exclusively at TMA from Nov. 18 through Feb. 18, 2018. “’Glorious Splendor’ offers TMA audiences an exceptional opportunity to experience up close some of the most exquisite and significant objects from the Early Christian era,” said TMA Director Brian Kennedy.

“Not only will this exhibition be visually captivating, it will also explore important continuities of style, media, iconography and technique between Christian and non-Christian art during this dynamic time period,” said Levine. In A.D. 330, the Emperor Constantine consecrated Constantinople as the new capital of the Roman Empire.

Seven years later, Constantine died, and on his deathbed, he was baptized. In part, for this reason, Constantine the Great frequently has been identified as a transitional figure ushering Rome from a pagan empire into a Christian one.

Among the items of personal adornment in the exhibition are large gold crosses, decorated and embossed, which were favored by the wealthy and pious of Byzantium in the sixth and seventh centuries; weighty bracelets carefully traced with gold and ornamented with precious gems and pearls from the sixth century.

Decorative objects in the exhibition that were originally created for Christian churches include Byzantine silver hanging lamps with openwork decoration and inscriptions, indicating their function as votive offerings to Christ (sixth century).

Admission to the exhibition is free.

The exhibition is supported in part by Taylor Cadillac, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, the TMA Ambassadors, Mary Lynch Jarrell and Paul A. Jarrell, James and Gregory Demirjian, Sotheby’s, Harold Jaffe Jewelers and the OAC, with additional support from the 2017 exhibition program sponsor ProMedica.

The Museum, located at 2445 Monroe St., is open Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, noon-5 p.m., and is closed Monday and major holidays.

For general info, call 419-255-8000 or 800-644-6862 or visit toledomuseum.org.

Sadly, many patients may not feel the pain of a wound because of diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy or other medical problems that can be difficult to care for. If not treated correctly, these patients will feel the adverse effects for a long time to come. Which is why the specialists at Jobst Vascular Institute use a systematic approach to wound care, and the patient is an important part of the healing process. If you have a wound that is healing slowly or not at all, don’t wait. Make an appointment at a ProMedica wound care location today. promedica.org/vascular

This ceremony is part of the commemoration of the memorial’s 35th anniversary.

It will take several days and continue through Veterans Day, which is Nov. 11.

One of the names Mayle will read is Lance Cpl. Miguel Keith, who was a member of her father’s Marine Corps unit. Keith was killed in action on May 8, 1970, and was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and Congressional Medal of Honor.

“It is truly a privilege and an honor to have been given this opportunity,” Julie said. “It’s about taking the time to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Oregon man recalls

Constructing the highways, airports and bridges of WWII assignment under tough conditions.

“It was just like you’d gone out here in the woods and you had to go through that to where the road was supposed to be. We had bulldozers and bulldozer operators. I never rode one of the big ones, but I rode the small ones. You pushed the trees and everything to the side and everything was piled on the side. Here’s the road and if you came into a swamp area, we cut down smaller trees and we put them across, making what they call a corduroy road over that area. You’d put the big end one way and the next one would be with the tree so it would be level, and then we’d work in the gravel,” Slaninka said.

“We went up in the summertime because you couldn’t fix the road in the winter time. There was another outfit, the 18th Engineers, that was up in the northern part and we worked the southern part, and we met building the road. We did everything.

“We were up there close to a year. In the summertime when we put the road in, it was just gravel in order for that supply line of trucks from the United States to get there. Every 50 miles we all broke up to a certain extent. A certain amount of us stayed and we drove 50 miles per day with a loaded truck going up, and it would pick up an empty truck coming back.”

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Anytime Dominic Slaninka hears the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mentioned in the news, it puts a smile on his face.

That is because Slaninka, now in his 90s and living at Lane Park senior assisted living facility in Oregon, was a member of the Corps’ 340th Engineering Battalion during World War II, serving from 1942-45.

It was the 340th Battalion’s job to build the 1,700-mile long Alaskan Highway, and he was right smack in the middle of it. He’s proud of the Corps’ heritage.

“They’ve been in existence a long time — they were even in the Panama Canal,” Slaninka said. “Just the other day, there was a general who was interviewed on account of the (hurricane) floods and he said the Army Corps of Engineers was probably on their way already. So, there you are.”

The Alaskan Highway was constructed During World War II to connect the contiguous United States to Alaska across Canada beginning at the junction of several Canadian highways in Dawson Creek, British Columbia and running to Delta Junction, Alaska via Whitehorse, Yukon.

It was constructed as a supply line for the U.S. military, but was eventually opened to the public in 1948. “(Franklin D.) Roosevelt was president at that time, and so two years before they knew the war was coming, the rest of the guys (Congress) wouldn’t put up the money,” Slaninka recalls. “Alaska is only six or seven miles from the United States, so he wanted to extend the road for a supply line from the United States. There wasn’t anything being done, so when the war came, all hell broke loose, so he got a lot of money. It’s just like anything else and that’s why the road was built.”

At its completion, the Alaskan Highway was legendary for many decades for being a rough, challenging drive, but since has been paved over its entire length, shortened and straightened to 1,387 miles.

However, for the Corps, clearing the way for the road’s construction was a difficult

Fighting cold, conditions There was not much entertainment for the troops, and when the opportunity came, Slaninka passed it up.

“We never saw anybody up there outside of a few Eskimos. That’s all. The only thing, there was Bob Hope. He came up there close to Fairbanks and he put on a show in a town, and some of us got off. But I couldn’t see myself riding in the back of a truck for so many miles just to see him. So, I never did see him,” Slaninka said.

Dealing with the sub-freezing weather was not easy, either.

“It was pretty rough up there when it was 60, 70, 80 degrees below zero all the time. We didn’t do much on the road at that time,” Slaninka said.

Slaninka Continued from page 15 “We didn’t have the clothes that you’ve got today, but we managed. At that time, the United States didn’t furnish you with a lot of stuff. You know what our fire was? It was a 55-gallon drum and you cut a hole in it for a door and for a chimney. They did furnish us with a chimney and we were still in those five-man canvas tents. So, we’d go out and cut wood with a cross-cut saw. At that time, they did have a saw that was run by compressed air. You had to have a great big generator on the truck, and in the cold weather it would freeze up, so we still had to cut it by hand. That didn’t matter to me because I was so used to using a cross-cut saw anyways, cutting a tree down. We kept warm that way.”

He said some of the Corps had to be flown to construction sites, but his crew managed to find their way on trucks or boats.

“After the winter, of course the roads got all muddy and it was hard for the trucks to get through — some of our outfit got bogged down in the mud and a plane came down from some place and landed and took off. But, we didn’t. For whatever reason, it wasn’t too bad for us and we got on a truck and went to Skagway, Alaska. There was a narrow-gauge railroad that ran between where we were and Skagway, Alaska, and we got on that train, went back there and got a boat and came back.”

“Wheels started turning” Slaninka says if he knew today how Alaska would change, he may have homesteaded there instead of returning to Northwest Ohio. He had played a role in opening up the Alaskan wilderness and had an opportunity to locate there after the war.

“It really opened that country up. I know you could get into the back of a truck and go over a hill and all you can see is, before you came down, big lakes all around,” Slaninka said. “Then you’d see a mountain over there. At that time, I knew that somebody was going to get a hold of this country up there.

“I’m a kid of 21-years-old thinking that you come back from the Army and you’ve got to start life again. You got married and

I think they were allowing you to homestead on 500 acres up there — I read all this through the newspapers. But, you don’t have a nickel in your pocket when you come back, so how can you go way up there and start a homestead and new life? So, to heck with it — I never went back.

“Now, years afterwards, you start thinking and the wheels start turning. Man, I wish I could have gone up there. Just think, those lakes up there with the resorts now around them, and with the road that’s up there now — what that would be worth to a person? That’s where the big bang comes in, but we never found out about that stuff.”

Fortunately for Slaninka, there was a job at Dana waiting for him. He started as a machine operator before enlisting, and they held his job until he got back.

“I wasn’t there very long (after first getting hired). Uncle Sam — they wanted me.

So, I was only there a little over a month.

But, you know what, those guys at the plant, they were good to me and they took up a collection and gave it to me,” Slaninka said.

“At that time, all the manufacturers, if you went to service, you came back and you had the top seniority in that plant, which was good. After that, my years were

up. If you had enough seniority, you could bump up and go anywhere.”

He retired from Dana, taking the first chance he got to buy out after 30 years. He chose early retirement because his older brother had died at age 42 from heart failure, so that started “the wheels in my brain turning and I had my 30 years in.”

Slaninka, of Slovak descent, grew up in Point Place, which is where his only daughter lives with her family, including three grandchildren — two boys and a girl. Dominic and his wife, Marie (Cass) spent most of their adult years living in the Swanton area.

Slaninka goes island hopping in the Pacific

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The latter part of Dominic Slaninka’s World War II experience was spent in The Philippines and the Pacific islands serving in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under General Douglas MacArthur.

“Well, when we came back (from building the Alaskan Highway), we went back to North Carolina (Camp Sutton) and we took some training, stayed there, and they decided what they wanted to do with us. So, we went to the South Pacific and we did what they call island hopping,” Slaninka said.

“We were making what they call a supply line shorter. We’d put up an airport or whatever, and from there on whenever they took a certain area, General MacArthur would move on and we’d build the roads, bridges and everything and fix them up.”

It was there that the Corps’ 340th Engineering Battalion saw plenty of carnage. Although his outfit was not looking for combat, they were dodging Japanese fighter planes, plus they witnessed and then had to clean up damage left behind by Japanese bombers. Meanwhile, arriving on some islands meant getting there before the war dead was buried.

“I’ve seen a lot, of course, and I went through a lot. I don’t want anyone to think I was a hero or anything like that. I don’t know who that fellow was who said, ‘War

“

I don’t know who that fellow was who said, ‘War is hell.’

is hell,’” Slaninka said.

During construction, Corps workers were working under conditions considered just as dangerous as battle.

“We had a stone quarry to get gravel for the roads,” the 5-foot-8 Slaninka said.

“Another guy and I had the job of using a jackhammer to drill a hole — can you imagine asking a guy as tall as me to dig a hole?

Anyways, after it was done, and the other guy and I — we were the ones who put the dynamite in the hole and you had to count every time you’d have a blast go off. We drilled so many holes in the daytime.”

“Then there was this stone wrecker — it’s just like a grain separator. That’s where the bulldozers would push up the big rocks and they would be crushed up there. There was so much dust around there that a lot of guys, when they had that job, wouldn’t wear masks. Afterward, I would wear one of these masks and the rest of the guys

wouldn’t do it. We didn’t have just one job.

It kind of changed around.”

Then Slaninka showed a picture of himself operating equipment. It was in a book about his battalion’s activities in the Pacific, and he has another book detailing the unit’s activities building the Alaskan Highway.

“My job up here — all I had was a lever to shut off on the truck. When it would come, I’d shut off the conveyor so gravel would go underground. Then, when a new truck would come back in, I’d set the lever the other way. So, so that’s me setting up here on the rail,” Slaninka said.

Although he doesn’t want to be a hero, he has one admirer. Eucharist minister Steve Cherry saw an article about Slaninka in the Englewood Sun, a newspaper in Englewood, Fla. dated Feb. 25, 2002 that demonstrated how much the engineers sacrificed during the war.

“I do a Eucharist ministry over there to the Catholic patients the last few months and I’ve gotten to know him. When we have people in assisted living homes, they can’t make it to Mass, so we volunteer to take the Eucharist to them,” Cherry said.

“He’s one I got to talking with and he was showing me his books and all that.

Actually I said to him, ‘You know, there aren’t too many guys left. We’re losing all the World War II guys.’ Most of them are probably around 90, and that’s the youngest ones anymore. He’s a very sharp guy and obtained a lot from when he was there.”

“

Area residents got a firsthand look at Owens Community College’s new Veterans Hall as the academic institution officially opened the doors during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 2.

Owens representatives were joined by community leaders and public officials at the ceremony, which included tours of the newly renovated facility, and info about the various services offered to veterans at Owens.

Veterans Hall, formerly Kingsley Hall, was part of the Penta Career Center campus acquired by Owens Community College for $6 million in 2008 when Penta relocated west of I-75 along Buck Rd. The purchase included more than 50 acres of land and three primary buildings, including Founders Hall and Heritage Hall.

Renovations of the 19,000-square foot Veterans Hall cost $2.1 million, with the first phase of construction completed in March 2017 and the second phase finished in October 2017.

The circular drive surrounding Veterans Hall was named “Mike McAlear Way” on May 3, following a generous donation to the Owens Foundation in support of veterans programming by Mike McAlear, then a member of the Owens Board of Trustees. The drive includes two reserved parking spaces for recipients of a Purple Heart, the decoration awarded to those wounded while serving with the U.S. military.

The signature development of the two-story Veterans Hall is a 1,700-square foot addition to the building’s east side that formed a new entrance and glass-enclosed atrium.

The first floor houses the offices of Veterans Services and Counseling Services, as well as a lounge dedicated for use by veterans, plus a computer lab, conference room and meeting room.

The second-floor renovation created a tiered, multipurpose event space that includes a lobby, restrooms, small catering space and updated audio/visual equipment.

The Veterans Hall was designed with

Stough and Stough Architects of Sylvania, Ohio designed Veterans Hall.

Van Tassel Construction Corporation of Sylvania, Ohio served as the general contractor.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Take It! If you want to be truly free, you must take your freedom and run with it. Prior to and during the U.S. Civil War, slaves who wanted their freedom had to make a decision about whether to risk life and limb by running away. Given the risks, this must have been a heart-wrenching decision. But we can learn something from this example. We can be enslaved by many things, by addictions, by our own habits of thought and action, and by fear or timidity. If we are going to live our own lives by our own lights then at some point we have to take our freedom into our own hands and put ourselves at the helm of our own ship.

This can be a hard thing to do. It is usually easier to let others run our lives. Children get used to their parents

making most of their decisions for them, and some never grow out of this habit. The human will is a muscle that must be developed. If you would be free, you must believe in yourself and believe that you have the capacity to direct your own life. Then develop a plan to become the person you long to be. And finally, put the plan into action. As a good friend of mine likes to say, “Plan the work and work the plan.” Remember also to make adjustments to the plan if it isn’t going perfectly. Some adjustments or corrections are needed in even the best plans. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”—Galatians 5:1 NIV
